I married my husband fresh out of high school. My dream guy: sexy, good job, pampered me ... all was great! After becoming the mother to his first child (previous relationship) and giving birth to two of my own, I couldn't have been happier.

His career took us to another state where not soon after, I found myself in the emergency room with unbarable pain. He, this man I loved and was truely best friends with, married to for 7 years, betrayed me and brought it home! I was lost, angry, sad, depressed, wondered what I did wrong, and what I could do to make it better... after working on it for a year, I moved home with my children to "make it work" for the two of them.

I went back to my home church where God placed a man in my life that would soon become a friend like no other. He was the youth pastor, and we just beacme closer and closer. Now three years later, we just married on Dec 2, 2006.

He has taken on my children and calls them his own (my first priority), he has provided a home and a safe haven for a family to grow strong in, and now, as we continue to grow closer, he is getting ready to deploy for Iraq. He is a Chaplain for our Army and he is going to go touch our soldiers lives who need that strength. He is a man worth admiring and there is a love that is recipicated in stronger ways that words could never explain. He is our soldier, our hero, our love, and our strength.

To have a second chance at love, romance and true happiness ... that is exactly what the three of us were given! God has a plan and even though it seldom goes the way we expect, it ALWAYS goes the way He want! God bless those women who are given a second chance like mine!
